I Finished a Novel!

I've mentioned in a previous post that I don't like my book.  I thought while writing it that it was absolutely terrible.  In some cases, I still think that.  But right now, I'm over-looking that, because I finished it! 

Today I had a bunch of time to write, and I just hammered out that sucker and finished it.  Honestly, I was sort of getting sick of it, so I may have rushed it a little.  Possibly a lot. 

I'll fix it later. 

But I finished a novel!  I used to think it would take me until adulthood to do that much, and I thought that I would then publish that book.  I don't think I'll publish this, but we'll see where the editing gets me, and what my mom thinks, because I'm going actually let her read it now.  Yeah... it's scary.  Especially when your mother hates chick-lit, but that's what I wrote, and she's good at feedback, so we're going to do that.     

Of course, now comes the scary "what now" of it all.  Do I try to publish it? I'm pretty darn sure that it's not that good, and at times horrible enough that it would be a no, and that's okay, but like I said, we'll see.  First I need to edit.  But then comes some other questions.  Like, I'm actually considering turning it into a series.  Or do I just move on to the British super-hero book I want to write?  Will Wattpad still love me?  Will I still love it?  They're important questions.  And now I have to face them.  #scary

But it'll be okay, I'm sure.  I'm going to keep working at this, and I'll get there.  I do have a game plan for what I do want to publish in future years.  It's this one idea I've had since, like, the second grade.  I'll tell you about that later.  But, what I mean to say is, that this was never my intention to go further than Wattpad. 

Now, my brain is fried, so I'll just tell you some facts about my book, and then we'll be done. 

Fact One:  This was roughly 67,568 words.  I plan on lengthening it quite a bit. 

Fact Two:  It was 136 pages, single spaced, size 11.  Again, I'll lengthen it. 

Fact Three:  I was writing this for about 11 months.  Possibly longer.

Fact Four:  Excluding the prologue and epilogue, it was 22 chapters. 

Fact Five:  My favorite chapter was chapter four.  I made people cry.  It was fun.

Fact Six:  If I were to write a sequel, then I would have Melody end up with a different guy. 

Fact Seven:   Yeah... I don't know what else to say. 

Thanks to people who have read it and supported me.  Thank you, bye!
